I Got Robbed ... Again

So the bastards that broke into my house this past November have struck again. This time, they took off with my precious iMac and my printer.

They smashed my back window, leaving a huge hole for my six kitties to escape through. But luckily, I came home and all my fuzzies were in the house. So I'm very thankful for that.

But still ... they took my freakin' computer! The cops came but couldn't find any finger prints. They didn't find any last time either, so we assume they're using gloves. And the cops (and I) are almost 99.9 percent sure the culprits are my crackhead next-door neighbors. But with no real evidence, there's not much that can be done.

Fortunately, after the November incident, I got renter's insurance. So I should be able to replace my computer. But it still sucks. Bad.

My awesome friends Michelle and Wes came over as soon as I discovered the break-in. And my super-duper awesome parents drove in (they live an hour away from Memphis) immediately. My dad brought one of his extra computers for me to use while I wait for a new one. So I'll still be blogging while I wait! Yea!

I hate to hear that! I hope you are ok. I know physically, but I mean emotionally because this can really do a number on you. I hope those crackheads get what is coming to them and soon. That blows! I wish there was more I could say to make you feel better. Just know I'm thinking about ya. I am glad you and the kitties were safe and thank goodness for family and friends to ease the pain. Take care of yourself and be careful!

What?! Gosh Bianca, those farts deserve some serious kicks to the face, rear, and so on... I'm really sorry that you've become a target for them. Want me to build you a booby trap? I will. I'm glad you have renter's insurance now, it doesn't provide full relief and comfort, but it helps.

omg!!!! that is absolutely terrible Bianca. I am so sorry that they took your computer. Atleast nothing happened to your cats.. that would have been worse. Somethings can be replaced. just make sure that you stay safe. It must be scary.

My biggest fear about someone breaking is someone leaving the house open so the cats can get out. As a result, I left my doors unlocked for a long time. I'm so sorry to hear about your break in, but I'm glad the kitties are safe!

Ouch, twice in the space of a few months, that's really horrible... Fortunately, you and your cats are uninjured, but it's still a traumatic experience. I hope whoever is responsible gets their comeuppance SOON.It's good to know there are good people who are there for you!Sending hugs and good thoughts your way.

That's terrible to hear - hope you are doing ok. Good to hear all of the kitties are at home and ok. Renters insurance sounds like a pretty good idea - hope everything works out - what a nasty experience.

That's horrible! I can't imagine such a terrible thing happening to such an awesome person AGAIN. I am really glad you have renter's insurance, but that doesn't make up for the fact of being made so vulnerable, among everything else. I'm so sorry!

I am so sorry you got robbed again. That really sucks. Someone needs to go over to your neighbor's home and put them in their place. Geez! Thank goodness for renters insurance. I hope you have a good weekend.

I'm so sorry that this has happened again. It really sucks! I'm glad to hear that the kitties are ok and that you are too. Is there any way you could move? I know its not the most feasible option, but your safety is what is important. Best of luck.

holy shit bianca, i'm SO SORRY this has happened to you! i'm so relieved the kitties were okay, you're okay, and you have renter's insurance. out of all the bonghits that made up my high school years, the one useful thing i gleaned from my HS diploma was the "get renter's insurance!" that my home ec. teacher grilled into my head.

i know i'm really far away, but if you need to just vent, drop me a line. you are very blessed to have such an awesome support network during this very unfair time. i hope justice is served.

OH MY GOD. Bianca,I am so sorry! That is a giant sadness. It's gotta be scary living in a place that has been broken into twice. whew. You are in my thoughts. I'll be sending your little cookbook off as soon as I got back to California this weekend... hopefully it will bring you a little cheer. ::hugs::

WTF! I'm so sorry, Bianca - sadly I've heard of that happening - jerks that figure out how to get into a place and figure out your schedule and try again. I'm so glad you have insurance, but it's still so icky. You have wonderful parents and wonderful friends - and I'm so glad your kitties were there and ok.

I'm so sorry that this happened to you! As others have said, the psychological/emotional side of something like this is often the hardest thing to deal with. Stay strong!

On the booby trap idea...maybe one of those 'nanny cam' deals hidden inside a teddy bear or something, pointed toward the area where they keep breaking in? At least that way if they strike a third time, you would have proof of who it was.

On a positive note, i discovered your blog a few months ago, and have really been enjoying your recipes. The healthy breakfast wrap looks really good!

Bianca! My lord, that is really the limit! I can't imagine how frustrated you must be right now! The police are so useless about stuff like this too... I really hope you come up with a solution to this problem that helps you to feel more safe.

Oh my goodness Bianca! I'm just seeing this now and I"m SO SO sorry this happened to you again! Glad to hear you weren't home and that your kitties didn't run off but that really really sucks about your computer.
